Defending the Fake Punt

The fake punt was probably a poor call. For the sake of argument though, I thought I'd make a post about why the fake was not a horrible call. Its a risk--but I don't think it is as big a deal as people make it out to be. It's not so much a dumb play call as it is an admission that your position is ...

Re: Would it make any sense for Taysom to come back?

Taysom is very keen on getting an excellent education. He's smart enough to know his shot at the NFL has been greatly diminished and that football is no longer his future. The undergrad finance program at BYU is exceptional but an opportunity to add Michigan post-grad to his resume WHILE playing foo...

Re: Taysoms tweet

That is exactly what I think he will likely do--graduate and transfer, likely to the open and waiting arms of his long time friend and mentor, Jim Harbaugh.

And I'll wish him all the success in the world if he does it.

Re: BYU Investigation allegations of improper benefits

The last time NCAA compliance set its sights on BYU, it ended with the firing of the coach, on the grounds of a single proven technical violation. A " booster" (local stake president) allowing two players to borrow some bicycles. Ended up costing the coach his job. (http://www.deseretnews....

Re: all Non-LDS BYU team

Well TIL. I was remembering the outrage over on cougar board when it happened. I'll have to be more careful next time.

Re: all Non-LDS BYU team

"Not quite as active now" is putting it lightly. Dude won't even say the words "Brigham Young University" in his NFL intro and instead lists his high school. But anyways...

Re: Monson, Gordon, not the Prophet, talks about dancing mon

I definitely understand your objections to my point number 2. In my haste, I probably threw in some hyperbole ("parade him out for the national media") that is the more cynical part of me coming out. I'm just thinking, if they are going to say he can't play football because he can't repres...

Re: Monson, Gordon, not the Prophet, talks about dancing mon

I understand the negative reaction to the piece here, but apart from his ultimate conclusion and the rhetoric, I have to say that for my part, I do agree with two points he makes. 1. The university should merely state that a player has broken team rules and is suspended for X amount of games. When N...
